Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for October 19, 2014

Sad people alert!!!

I don’t rake the leaves, just leave them to rot and return to the soil. Much better for the environment, no plastic bags used.

The only thing I’ll mark as incorrect is “in correct”. :) I’m more partial to the colors of fall. I suppose if we had cherry trees in our area I’d like spring more…

I often mumble while I deal with the leaves. ‘Rake them by butt. It is time for mulching and liming.’ My neighbors think I am strange to mow up to the first snow fall.

You have evidently never had to rake leaves.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen Clem playing like a normal kid, instead of finding some way to hog everything.

Shedding hair will grow back? I can hardly wait…

I remember people burning leaves in the street (gutter) when I was 5 or so. Riding a bike through leave piles was fun as long as I didn’t have to rake up the mess. :-)

When I was little, I would jump into piles of leaves and had fun doing it.
